APARTMENT. NEWSCENTER 5'S ANTOINETTE ANTONIO IS ON THE SCENE WITH THIS STORY. WE'VE GOT AN UPDATE FROM THE FIRE CHIEF. HE SAYS A TOTAL OF TWO PEOPLE WERE SERIOUSLY INJURED. THEY WERE PLAYING WITH FIREWORKS. THE SCARY PART IN ALL OF THIS, THEY WEREN'T TRYING TO LIGHT THEM WHEN THEY SUDDENLY WENT OFF. CLEANUP CREWS WORKED THROUGH THE NIGHT AND INTO THIS MORNING AFTER AN EXPLOSION JUST OUTSIDE ON THE DECK AREA OF THIS ABINGTON APARTMENT. A FIREWORK THAT ACCIDENTALLY WENT OFF. THEY WERE JUST PLYING AROUND WITH FIREWORKS, IF YOU WILL. THERE WAS NOTHING BEYOND THAT. THEY WERE JUST LOOKING AT THE FIREWORKS, THEY DID NOT EVEN INTEND TO LIGHT THESE FIREWORKS ALTHOUGH ONE DID LIGHT OFF. TWO PEOPLE INJURED, INCLUDING A 17-YEAR-OLD BOY TAKEN TO MASS GENERAL. HE DID HAVE SEVERE INJURIES TO ONE OF HIS HANDS. THIS MORNING I CANNOT TELL, REPORT ON WHAT THE CONDITION OF THAT PATIENT IS. THE OTHER VICTIM IS A 31-YEAR-OLD MAN WHO LIVES IN THE APARTMENT. HE WAS TAKEN TO A BROCKTON HOSPITAL WITH BLAST RELATED INJURIES TO HIS BACK. THE BOMB SQUAD WAS CALLED OUT TO SECURE AND REMOVE A SECOND FIREWORK. THE FIRE CHIEF SAYS THIS IS A REMINDER WHY FIREWORKS ARE ILLEGAL IN MASSACHUSETTS. THIS OCCURRED IN CLOSE PROMPT, IF NOT WITHIN A 24-UNIT APARTMENT COMPLEX ON THE FIRST FLOOR. SO IT WAS THE FIRE CHIEF, THAT WAS ONE OF MY FIRST CONCERNS, WAS THERE AN ACTUAL FIRE HERE? LUCKILY, THERE WAS NO FIRE OR STRUCTURAL DAMAGE. THE INJURIES ARE SAID TO BE NONLIFE THREATENING AND EVEN THOUGH THIS APPEARS TO BE AN ACCIDENT BY ALL STRETCHES, ABINGTON POLICE ARE LOOKING
